We were in town for my niece's graduation at Liberty University. Although Lynchburg is an hour and a half away from Bells Valley Ranch, we were happy to make the trip because the home was so welcoming, provided us with adequate space for our gathering, and was perfectly suited for the occasion. We would gladly recommend the space and rent it again!
This home was exactly what was needed. It was accurately described and very spacious. Communicating was never an issue. The space was clean and comfortable for all.
